The Coast Guard
The Coast Guard had a large presence here at
the show. It helped to keep the air show area clear of boats,
and to assure the safety of the many boaters who showed up to watch
the show while relaxing on the water. The boat shown here is a hard bottomed
inflatable. Though primarily a sea going service, the Coast Guard has
an air arm of it's own, consisting of helicopters, and maritime patrol
planes. A planned helicopter rescue demonstration shows off the courage
and skills of America's "other" armed force.
